Young people can face all sorts of pressures – including problems at school, with friends or at home.
connectEDspace is a website by Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV), dedicated to young people to help provide all the information they need to deal with the stuff they go through each day.

Aboriginal Family and Relationship Support

RAV provides support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and individuals to help strengthen family relationships.

We provide counselling in Bairnsdale. Counselling is available every Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays. The location is at Quantum Support Services, 306 Main Street. Contact the Traralgon Centre for details or to make appointments (see contact details above).

Multicultural programs

The centre utilises a number of engagement strategies to encourage community members from diverse backgrounds to access our services. The centre works in partnership with other local services and communities to deliver relevant services. Information on counselling services and family dispute resolution is delivered in an informal manner through activity-based programs and community events.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders

The centre works in partnership with local agencies to provide a range of services to our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These services include outreach, community liaison activities, groups, counselling and family dispute resolution.
